TEXT: “Ye canna expect to be
baith grand and comfortable.” —J. M.
Barrie.
It is said that singer Dinah Shore’s
daughter keeps her mother’s ego from
expanding. Every time Dinah Shore
tried singing one of her ten thousand
dollar songs to the child, the little girl
begins a dreadful crying, exclaiming,
“Don’t you sing to me. I want Nur
sie to sing for me.”
No matter what heights a man may
attain among the majority of his fel
lows, he cannot please everyone. And
being “grand” is not a comfortable
cialist for the State College Exten
' sion Service and a director of the Hor
ticulture Department of the fair, urg
ed participation on the part of Tar
Heel boys and girls between the ages
of 10 and 20 years in every section

There’s a mighty good chance that
October 1954 will be the biggest
October in Buick history.
In fact, we know it will—if we can keep
Buick sales rolling as they’ve been roll
ing thus far this year.
This is the car that has romped ahead of
competition—climbed up into the circle
of America’s three top sales leaders.
It’s the car that has been winning cus
tomers because it has the power, the
ride, the room, and the styling that make
it the buy of the year.
So we’re in the mood to talk turkey, if
you are in the market. Come in today
for a car and a deal too good to miss.
JUVENILE CRIME INCREASING j
Juvenile crime statistics are terri
fying. Well over a million youngsters
are picked up by police every year,
435,000 are brought to court, more
than 100,000 held in jail, and 40,000'
sent to training schools.
| And it isn’t just the big city slums
that breed crime. Delinquency is in
creasing faster in small and medium
sized towns than in big ones. Crime,
can breed in the country club section
as well as in the slums Changing,'
